Question

what is the surface area of the rectangular prism?
(image of a rectangular prism with length 6 m, width 6 m, height 2 m)
a 132 m²
b 124 m²
c 120 m²
d 108 m²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism

The formula for the surface area \(S\) of a rectangular prism is \(S = 2(lw+lh + wh)\), where \(l\) is the length, \(w\) is the width, and \(h\) is the height.

Step2: Identify the values of \(l\), \(w\), and \(h\)

From the problem, \(l = 6\space m\), \(w=6\space m\), and \(h = 2\space m\).

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula
